Bryan Utilities Lake offers convenienc
It's not Lake Fork, Amistad or Conroe,
and it's not a trophy bass lake. But I can
guarantee that you won't have to waste valu
able fishing time to get into this public park.
The crowds are non-existent and it's within
driving distance. It's Bryan Utilities Lake,
and as it begins to warm with the month of
March behind us, the largemouth bass in this
lake become susceptible to a variety of baits.
Probably the easiest bait to use on this
lake, or for that matter any lake, is the rattle
trap. They come in a variety of colors and do
not require any special tricks when retrieved.
The most effective sizes are going to be small
er, such as a 3/8 ounce, and blue and chrome
seems to be the "in" color.
When standing at the boat launch looking
out over the lake, there is a dam to the left
which runs the length of the entire shore.
Make your casts parallel to this dam and re
trieve the bait steadily. If it fails to draw
strikes, alter the speed of the retrieve or
change colors. These fish should be holding
in about six feet of water and even though
they probably will not have much size, they'll
hit the bait hard.
Another proven bait is the Texas-rigged
worm, and just about any color will work for
the feisty fish of Bryan Utilities. To make the
rig, first slide a 3/16 to 1/4 ounce bullet
weight on to your line. Now tie a 2/0 offset
shank worm hook to the line and thread your
JEFF
GREGG
Outdoors
favorite worm through the tip and out about
1/4 inch below the tip. Bury the hook back
into the body of the worm, and it's Texas
rigged.
As far as worms go, the four-inch and six-
inch ringworms are both effective sizes. For
color, try fire and ice (red with blue fleck),
tomato (chartreuse and orange) or tequila
sunrise (purple and pink), and fish them rela
tively slow unless you are not drawing
strikes. Drag the bait along the bottom near
the dam or on the opposite side of the lake
along the railroad trestles.
Another type of worm which can be
Texas-rigged is the weenie worm. Use a
smaller hook such as a 1/0, and instead of a
bullet weight, pinch a small split shot about
15 to 18 inches above the worm. Again, drag
the bait across the bottom until you feel a
hangup. If it's a fish, you won't feel a typical
strike, but a hard pull, and it's time to set the
hook.
Most students are not going tobeusel
fishing from anywhere besides a boat,bi:f
there are a couple of options which i
fice out at Bryan Utilities. ^^^HTRIPO
One is to fish from the bank or wade . Vv
along the bank. Both are effective as lonc : ^ a j^ r£
casts are made parallel to the shoreanda^T^g

tended period of time. The dam is made;p a j e s t i j
rocks and may be somewhat difficulttott* aUSe W£
along, but if caution is used, it will prodt;^ w ' £
f*sh. Wie d n e s
The other option is to fish from a belli |Lj er .
boat. A belly boat is an innertube which;L ac i e a b
covered with a nylon seat that thehshemLXjj n g
sits in as he fishes. Diving fins are used‘ ^ n „ a <3,
propel the fisherman backwards and for Lpdstom
steering. This is a great way to fishanysrl; ppo

Biggens looks to defense for new opportunit)

front of him next year in the Ag
gies backfield.
Biggens agrees that he has a lot
of work to do to learn the Davie's
defensive system.
"At first, I was lost," Biggens
said after a week of spring prac
tice. "Then I got better at learning
the plays. I'm kind of catching on.
It's getting better now."
"It's a lot of learning involved
it it," he said. "It's probably hard
er to learn the defensive plays
than the offensive ones."
Biggens spent most of his time
last season playing behind re
ceivers Tony Harrison and Brian
Mitchell and would be in the same
position next year. Biggens was
recruited as a running back but

and freshman Rodney Thomas in

saw defense
as the way to
a starting role.
"I got a
shot at it and
all I have to
do is prove
that I can
play,"
Biggens said.
"I got the
chance, I just
have to prove it
to them.
"I got a better chance at defen
sive back at making it."
The freshman knows that the
decision to switch positions was
one that he made on his own.
"It's not that big of an adjust
ment because I wanted to do it
and I played a little bit in high
school," he said.
Biggens has spent his time
during the spring playing defense
and not returning kicks.
"I am going to miss playing
the kick off returner," he said.
"But if I score a touchdown on an
interception, I don't think I'll miss
it."
Even with the losses of Smith,
Grooms, Ramsey Bradberry and
Kary Vincent, Biggens thinks the
Aggies secondary will be strong
once again.
Smith, a projected first round
selection in this month's NFL
Draft, thinks Biggens can make it
as far as he wants to go.
"Wilbert is an athlete," Smith
said. "I saw a highlight film the

SEATTLE (AP) - Dean
Palmer homered for the third
straight game as the Texas
Rangers unleashed a 17-hit bar
rage to beat the Seattle
Mariners for the third straight

A&M's No. 1 seed, Staley, had trouble with Texas'
Susan Gilchrist, and wound up losing to her in Sta
ley's last home singles match, 6-4, 6-3.
Staley, one of the best players in the country,
could not find her serve and Kleinecke said even her
blistering returns could not make up for it.
"Lynn returned serve well enough to win," Klei
necke said. "She just didn't serve well enough to
win. When you're playing against Gilchrist, you
need to get a couple of breaks in order ti
at winning the set. But you've got to hold your servl'
every time."
Staley, who rejoined the team this season
prolonged back injury, has struggled inherretum
the court. Kleinecke said even though itwasa
pointing end to her career at the Smith Center,
looks above her wins and losses.
"Lynn's mentally tough enough to realized
uation she's in, and that's why she hasn't
down," he said. "Your average person would
looking at wins and losses and getting down."

he could have contracted the
virus before much was known
about "safe sex," but he just en
joyed his escapades a bit too
much.
Ashe, on the other hand,
could have been infected
through a blood transfusion
while he was having open-heart
surgery years ago. He had
quadruple bypass surgery in
1979, and had another heart op
eration in 1983. During one of
those times under the knife,
Ashe could have been given a
bad batch of blood that will
change his life forever.
So, unlike Johnson, Ashe was
the victim of someone else's mis
take. Maybe it wasn't actually
anyone else's fault, just the sad
fact that we were all uneducated
at the time about this disease. It
wasn't until 1985 that the medi
cal world realized it was neces
sary to screen blood supplies for
the virus. Up until then, so little
was known about AIDS that
transfusions seemed as safe as
anything else.
Unfortunately for Ashe, he
has become the most well-known
person to contract the virus by
doing nothing more than getting
sick and going to a hospital.
People have, of course, contrad
ed AIDS in this way before,
Ashe is the first one we will re
member.
Both stories are very sad,
both athletes deserve our syr
thy. Magic Johnson hasbegunS
make the most of his situation^
directing a fight against the
virus. Because of his situatioa
the entire world has begun to
pay more attention to the dan
gers of unprotected sex.
This latest news will hopefii
ly increase the concern for safe
hospital practices and make in
nocent people aware of the pffi
ble dangers associated with
blood transfusions.
